Ffff .	Objectives. Proper classification of military personnel by their military occupational specialties will facilitate the—
(I)	Conservation of available skills through maximum utilization of the education, training, and aptitudes possessed by military personnel.
(2)	Procurement of personnel possessing special knowledge and skill required in the military service by drawing upon civilian sources.
(3)	Requisitioning of military personnel qualified to meet the requirements of a military assignment.
(4)	Requisitioning and assignment of personnel by military or technical qualifications and grade, rather than by arm or service and grade only.
(5)	The establishment of qualifications to govern eligibility of personnel for specific assignments.
(6)	The establishment of a uniform system of personnel record keeping and reporting by mechanical means to increase accuracy and conserve time and effort.
(7)	Selection of military personnel for retraining or vocational rehabilitation in preparation for continuation in the military service or for return to gainful civilian employment
(3)	Separation of individuals from the Service and rational demobilization to achieve fullest utilization of
military occupational training and experience upon return to civilian life.
2.	DEFINITION AND DETERMINATION OF MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY.
a.	Definition. A military occupational specialty is a group of related duties and responsibilities normally requiring special knowledge and skills acquired through formal trainings experience, or education.
b.	Determination of an officer’s military occupational specialty. An officer may acquire a military occupational specialty—
(1)	Through successful completion of a course at a general or special service school, if it has been determined by proper authority that the course qualifies a graduate in a specialty.
(2)	Through satisfactory service in a unit or installations, when, in the opinion of the immediate superior, an officer demonstrates qualification by reason of at least satisfactory performance of a specialty. Such determination must be evidenced by an efficiency rating of “Satisfactory” or better, recorded in the “Manner of Performance” column of W. D., A. G. 0. Form No. 66-1 and 66-2. Since no efficiency rating can be given until the officer has performed the duty continuously for at least 30 days, a specialty cannot be acquired in this way until it has been performed for at least 30 days.
(3)	Through civilian experience, when of such a nature as to be a practical counterpart of a military
1
OFFICER CLASSIFICATION—COMMISSIONED AND WARRANT
occupational specialty; and when proficiency has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of his commanding officer.
c. Selection of primary and secondary military occupational specialty when an officer is qualified in two or more specialties. In order to provide for the maximum utilization of an officer’s qualifications, the following factors should be considered in the selection of the primary and secondary specialty, when it is desired to make a differentiation:
(1)	Quality of performance.
(2)	Length of experience or training.
(3)	Recency of experience or training.
(4)	Needs of the service, especially in scarce categories of required skills.
3. DEVELOPMENT OF CLASSIFICATION STRUCTURE.
a. Maj nr and subgroup divisions. The classification structure divides military occupational specialties into ten major groupings. As an aid in allocating and locating code designations and as a means of facilitating reporting and analysis of specialties, each grouping is subdivided into subgroups of related occupations. No single criterion has been followed in determining the assignment of code numbers to the occupational specialties. As a rule, functional relationship determines the allocation of a code. Specialties related by the nature of duties performed are classified together. In addition, it is frequently necessary to give consideration to similiarity in experience, education, and other qualification requirements. In some cases related qualifications determine the code position of otherwise unrelated specialties. To facilitate reference to this manual the functional groupings are outlined as follows:

b. Assignment of code designation. Each military occupational specialty is given a fourdigit code; the first digit represents the major group;
3

the second, the subgroup; the other two, the position of the military occupational specialty within the subgroup.
Level of resposasibaSity. This manual provides for classification of officers along functional lines without regard to unit of assignment or level of responsibility. Specialties which represent functions commonly performed at various levels or responsibility are described without reference to grade or echelon. For example, the command of combat engineer troops is a functional specialization performed at various echelons ranging from platoon to regiment. A code and title, 1331 “Combat Engineer Unit Commander” is used to report and record the specialty regardless of echelon of command. However, a fifth digit code (sec. IV) is provided for indicating organizational level when reporting present duty. It is also intended that an officer’s grade will generally denote the level of responsibility. It is obvious, for example, that a lieutenant (1331) is performing a speciality at a lower level of responsibility than a major (1331), although in the same chain of command.
4. ORGANIZATION AND INTERPRETATION OF JOB SPECIFICATIONS.
a.	Basis for job speeificatiosa. The specifications contained in this manual are based upon an analysis of military duties performed by commissioned and warrant officers. Material used in their preparation was submitted by the arms and services, obtained by questionnaires or interviews, and compiled from current Army publications.
b.	Orgaiaiiealioia of a job specifies-tion. (I) Each job specification contained in this manual is composed of several or all of the following elements.
(«a) A descriptive title and code, consistent with other titles.
(b) A statement of predominent duties and responsibilities including typical tasks falling within the occupational functions.
(e) A statement of special qualifications indicating knowledge and skills required for adequate performance of the specialty.
(d)	Military experience.
(e)	Civilian experience.
(f)	Educational requirements.
(g)	Source jobs indicative of civilian sources from which personnel may be drawn with qualifications which will permit assignment with the least training and preparation.
(2)	When any of the above elements do not contribute to a greater understanding of the military
occupational specialty or do not add significantly to the qualification requirements, these items are omitted from the job specification. Thus, for example, the educational factor is not mentioned if nor more than a general high school education is required. However, technical school or other specific requirements are included.
(3)	Tire degree to which qualifications are necessary for proper performance of a specialty is indicated by “essential” or “must,” “very desirable” or “should,” and “desirable.” Possession of additional qualifications is always desirable but unless it is normally associated with a specialty and contributes to better performance, this factor is omitted. Thus, prior military experience is not indicated unless it adds materially and directly to the officer’s ability to perform the duties indicated.
c. Interpretation of job specification. (I) The job specifications are intended as an aid and guide in assisting classification officers in the determination of an appropriate code designation for a given set of duties and responsibilities, and to uniformly interpret and implement the regulations pertaining to personnel classification and reporting. They do not restrict authority of commanding officers to change or prescribe additional duties and responsibilities of subordinates. The objective has been to develop clear, usable, and manageable specifications rather than make each one an indivisible unit. Differences in duties which do not affect seriously their treatment as a unit in classification and assignment work have been disregarded. The specifications are not detailed and complete statements of the duties and responsibilities of a specific duty assignment but describe typical tasks normally associated with the functional specialty.
(2) The classification of occupational specialties does not produce a system whereby every duty assignment can be found through a routine process of following an index. Sound judgment is required in applying the mechanical details of this classification structure. Consideration is not to be given to isolated phrases or sentences apart from their context.
•I. Use of other titles. Classification titles as herein provided are intended for use in all official procedures relating to procurement, assignment, requisitioning, and reporting of personnel by means of military occupational specialties. This does not preclude the use, for other purposes, of titles prescribed by regulations or in common usage.
MILITARY CLASSIFICATION AND CODING
5o DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN PRESENT DUTY AND MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY. A present duty assignment does not, by itself, qualify an officer for a military occupational specialty. Before a specialty is acquired, an officer must meet the requirements set forth in paragraph 2. The present duty of an officer may not necessarily be identical with his military occupational specialty. An officer may have a military occupational specialty of Field Artillery Unit Commander (1193) but be performing a present duty of Mess, Supply and Transportation Officer (4113) in a truck-dr awn field artillery battery. For reporting purposes, a military occupational specialty will be indicated by the appropriate four-digit code, and a present duty by the appropriate four-digit code plus a fifthdigit designating level of performance (see sec. IV).
6.	USE OF ALPHABETIC INBEX. The index contains a complete cross-index of the military occupational specialties included in TM 12—406 and 12—107. The titles appearing in capital letters are the exact designations found in sections II and III. For all recording and reporting purposes, use only proper titles, that is, those appearing completely capitalized. The titles in lower case letters with initial capitals only are rearrangements of the title. In addition, former proper titles of specialties previously published in AR 605-95 (tentative) and its supplements, but appearing in this manual under a revised title, are included to facilitate easy reference to the new titles. A title cannot be completely descriptive of a specialty. It is important, therefore, that reference be made to the content of the specification before a code and title are selected.
7.	CORING OF GENERAL OFFICERS. Military occupational specialties need not be determined for officers in grade of brigadier general or higher. However, a code designation (0002) has been provided for reporting present duty assignment and military occupational specialties.
8.	CORING OF OFFICER NOT ASSIGNED DUTIES AN® OFFICER NOT QUALIFIER IN A MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY.
a.	Duties unassigned. When an officer is not assigned specific duties by the commanding officer but is awaiting assignment or is a casual at the installation, present duty code is not designated. Instead, a special code (0001) is used for reporting purposes to indicate the status of the officer; that is, no duty assigned.
b.	When an officer has not acquired a military occupational specialty in accordance with paragraph 2, section I, a specialty is not designated. Instead, a special code (0001) is used for reporting purposes to indicate absence of primary or secondary military occupational specialty.
9.	CORING OF ASSISTANTS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. Since the classification structure provides for the determination of military occupational specialties by function, officers performing duties similar to those of officers whom they assist are to be assigned the same military occupational specialty. Thus, assistants, executive officers, and others whose duties are functionally the same as those of their immediate superiors by virtue of their nature and responsibility, receive the same classification. The fifth-digit suffix (see sec. IV) provides a means whereby a distinction can be made between the chief or commanding officer and his immediate subordinate officers. However, this procedure is not to be employed when an officer is delegated subordinate duties which are classifiable as another specialty.
IO.	CORING OF INSTRUCTORS.
Sl. It is not feasible to develop job specifications for the many instructional duties performed by officers. A careful analysis of instructor specialties has shown that the field of instruction, both in kind and scope, usually parallels the functional performance of a military occupational specialty, and hence may be represented by the same code. For example, it appears that the skills and knowledge represented by an Ammunition Supply Officer (4514) and an instructor in the same field are sufficiently alike, except for personality and other factors not classifiable herein, to permit classification by the same code. A fifth-digit code (0) is used to report present duty of instructors but not for recording primary or secondary military occupational specialty, for example, Ammunition Supply Officer (4514-0). In this way, the essential, basic military capacities of an instructor will be recorded without unreasonable multiplication of classifications.
b. There are, however, a number of teaching specialties, such as Instructor, Public Speaking; Instructor, Welding; and Instructor, Military Government, which do not have functional counterparts and these are coded specifically by the teaching specialty.
11.	CORING OF STUDENT OFFICERS. Full-time present duty in a student capacity will be indicated by a special code (2700) when reporting present duty assignment. Thus, the present duty of an officer pursuing studies in a school and of an officer engaged full time in attending a refresher course,
5
OFFICER CLASSIFICATION—COMMISSIONED AND WARRANT
student auditing, observing, or other student activity will be reported by the above designated code. This specification number will not be used for those officers who are assigned temporarily to an officer pool pending permanent assignment (see specification No. 0001).
12.	CDDING OF OFFICERS PERFORMING COMBINATION OF DUTIES.
a. With few exceptions, two or more specialties have not been combined under one code and title. Only when combined duties are an integral and usually inseparable part of an assignment such as Operations and Oxygei. Officer (1041), have they been treated as a military occupational specialty.
I». The present duty of officers performing two or more specialties will be determined by the relative importance of the duties on the basis of level of responsibility involved and time devoted to each. For example, a battalion executive officer who also serves as battalion S—3 should be reported as having present duty of the former. Likewise, various additional duties should be disregarded and only the principal duty reported.
13.	CODE CHANGES AND DELETIONS FROM AR 605-95 (tentative). Appendix A contains a list of those code numbers appearing in AR 605—95 (tentative) and its supplements, or those otherwise authorized for use which have been deleted from this classification manual. Included in this section are suggested substitutions for those codes no longer to be used. These suggestions are not exhaustive and are not to be applied mechanically in making code changes. When a recommended substitution does not seem to apply to a particular set of duties and re
sponsibilities, the classifying officer should make a careful review of the related job specifications to select a code and title. When no substitution is indicated, it will be necessary to follow the same procedure as required when making an original determination of military occupational specialty.
14.	SUGGESTED ADDITIONS OR REVISIONS OF TITLES AND SPECIFICATIONS. In order to maintain an up-to-date manual, additions, changes, corrections, and revisions will be made from time to time. The cooperation of classification officers is essential in keeping subject matter in this manual current with new developments. Suggestions as to additions and revisions are welcome. Such recommendations should be forwarded, through channels, to The Adjutant General, in accordance with the following form:

Coding Organizational Level
Paragraph Page
Use of Fifth Digit as a Suffix to Four-Digit	Functional Code___________________________________________________ 1	207
Table of Fifth Digits Codes___________________________________________________________________________________   2	207
Examples of Use of Fifth Digit________________________________________________________________________________   3	208
1. USE OF FIFTH DIGIT AS A SUFFIX TO FOUR-DIGIT FUNCTIONAL CODE. The four-digit code is organized to indicate the functional nature of a duty assignment when reporting present duty. For purposes such as preparing rosters, tabulations, listings for organizational structure, and indicating the level of responsibility, some further guide is necessary. A fifth digit used as a suffix to the four-digit functional code differentiates position and level of responsibility within the general functional area which the four-digit code represents.
It is to be noted that for all practical purposes the unit in which the position occurs, or the type of position (combat command or staff) indicate certain lines of differentiation. The fifth digit merely amplifies and makes complete not only the functional coding but the other items of identification of the job. The fifth digit does not have invariable meaning in all situations. For example, in a unit of one of the arms with a definite chain of command, the digit “3” will indicate that the position referred to is that of executive officer, or second in command, at the regimental level. However, when appended to a code indicating a staff function, the digit “3” indicates that the position is that of a principal staff officer at the regimental or equivalent level, whereas the digit “4” indicates that die position is that of assistant staff officer at the same level.
Thus, on the same roster or listing, several officers may be reported as 2162—Operations and Training Staff Officer. The use of code 2162-2 to report present duty, indicates the officer is the Assistant S-3 at the divisional level. Code 2162—3 indicates that the officer is the principal S-3 at the regimental level. In both cases, the officer would have the grade of major.
2. TABLE OF FIFTH DIGIT CODES. The following guide is published to assist in the determination of appropriate fifth digit for reporting duty according to echelon:

4. c. Interpretation of Job Specification.
(3) Cases may arise in which strict interpretation of civilian or military education and experience qualifications indicated by “must” and “essential” will prevent otherwise qualified individuals from being classified in the proper military occupational specialty. It is undesirable to encourage a general relaxation of standards established by the various arms and services to determine eligibility for classification in a specialty. However, the qualification requirements of specifications in this manual will be interpreted in such a manner as to permit the application of the principles set forth in Par 3, Sec I, WD Circular No. 44, 1 February 1944, which reads in part as follows: “3. Awarding military occupational specialty ... One or more military occupational specialties may be acquired in one of the following manners:.....b. On-the-job training
or duty assignment for sufficient time that in the opinion of the rating officer such performance has been at least very satisfactory and that the officer is fully qualified to perform the duties provided for in the specifications. Normally a period of at least thirty days should precede assignment of military occupational specialty.”
7. CODING OF GENERAL OFFICERS. A special code (0002) has been provided for reporting military occupational specialties of general officers. However, all present duty assignments of such officers will be reported under a five digit duty code. For example, the military occupational specialty of a major general would be reported as (0002) whereas the duty of the same major general when commanding a motorized infantry division would be reported as Infantry Unit Commander (1542—1).
14. SUGGESTED ADDITIONS OR REVISIONS OF TITLES AND SPECIFICATIONS.

3. EXAMPLES OF USE OF FIFTH DIGIT.
C. Reporting present duty of officers in units of field forces. (For information on overhead installations see Par 3d).
(1)	It is to he noted that for all practical purposes, the fifth digit code is determined by the echelon at which the function is being performed, rather than the size of the unit, performing the function.
(2)	For illustration of the fifth digit applied to a definite chain of command, see Par 3b and 3c(5) of this section.
(3)	Whenever an officer performs combined staff and command duties, the staff function will take precedence. For example, an officer performing duties of both Regimental Communications Officer (0200-3) and Regimental Headquarters Company Commander (2900—7), will be reported as “Communications Officer (0200-3).”
(4)	Whenever an officer performs a combination of staff duties, the present duty code will be determined by the relative importance of the duties on the basis of level of responsibility involved and time devoted to each. (See Par 12, Sec I).
(5)	Examples of duty codes applied to selected positions in an Infantry Division:

d. Reporting present duty of officers in overhead installations:
(1) SERVICE COMMAND HEADQUARTERS
208.1
—ASF MANUAL M301, “Army Service Forces Organization”, 15 January 1944, elevates several elements of the service command headquarters formerly known as divisions to the status of directorates. Thus in the case of directorates, where two or more subordinate divisions are indicated, a fifth digit code of “X” will be used to show a level of responsibility greater than that of division chiefs. In all other cases, divisions will be coded with the fifth digit “1” (see Par 2, Table of Fifth Digit Codes). However, in the application of the fifth digit code in overhead installations, the terms “division”, “branch”, and “section”, must be interpreted in accordance with the proper relationship to higher and lower headquarters, thereby denoting echelon of responsibility. Since service command headquarters may differ in their internal arrangement, the following examples illustrate flexibility in the application of the fifth digit code.
(a)	CG, Service Command................0002-X
Chief of Staff.................2010-X

(2)	POSTS AND CAMPS IN SERVICE COMMANDS—ASF Manual M301 establishes several staff positions in post headquarters corresponding to the directorates of personnel, supply, and military training in the service command headquarters. To properly indicate functional relationship of the staff positions at a post to the corresponding staff positions at the service command headquarters, duty codes for the post positions will contain a fifth digit once removed from the fifth digit applicable to the corresponding positions in the service command headquarters. For example:
(a)	SERVICE COMMAND HEADQUARTERS Director of Personnel.................2205-X
Director, Military Personnel
Div.......................2201-1
Chief of Classification and
Assignment Section ... 2210-5 POST HEADQUARTERS
Director of Personnel Division.. 2205-1 Chief of Military Personnel
Branch .....................2200-3
Chief of Classification and
Assignment Section..........2210-7
(b)	On some posts there may not be, as in the service command headquarters, a director or chief of all personnel. In that case, no position need be given the fifth digit of 1. For example:
Post Military Personnel Officer...2200-3
Post Civilian Personnel Officer...2202-3
In this way the functional relationship of these staff positions at a post will be accurately shown as subordinate to the functional specialists at the service command level.
(c)	Whenever an officer performs combined staff and command duties, the staff function will take precedence. For example, an officer performing duties of both Post Adjutant (2110-3) and Post Headquarters Company Commander (2900—7) will be reported as Post Adjutant (2110-3).
(d)	Whenever an officer performs a combination of staff duties, the present duty will be determined by the relative importance of the duties on the basis of level of responsibility involved and the time devoted to each (See Par 12, Sec I).
(e)	The following partial breakdown further illustrates the application of the fifth digit code within a post organization:
Post Commander ...................2019-1
Post Executive Officer..........2019-2
Director, Personnel Division... 2205—1
208.2
Chief, Military Personnel Branch ......................2200-3
Chief, Civilian Personnel Branch ......................2202-3
Director, Supply Division....4012-1
Chief, Stock Control Branch.	4416-3
Chief, Storage Branch.....4710-3
Post Engineer .................7130-3
Post Utilities Maintenance Engr ........................7120-5
Post Surgeon ..................3001-3
(3)	THEATER HEADQUARTERS, BASE HEADQUARTERS, DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS, AND FIXED INSTALLATIONS IN THEATER OF OPERATIONS.
(a)	In theater, base, or district headquarters and in fixed installations in theater of operations, the following application of the fifth digit code will be used, viz, “X” for theater and base section headquarters, “1” for district headquarters within base sections, and “3” for fixed installations equivalent to posts, camps, or stations. Where a
staff has dual functions, that is, where a district commander is also a post commander, the fifth digit code “1” rather than “3” will be used for his headquarters. The following example illustrates the application of the fifth digit code for the Adjutant General’s Section in theater headquarters:
Adjutant General......................2110-X
Assistant Adjutant General...........2110-Y
Chief, MRU and Replacement Div.2025-1 Chief, Classification Branch... .2210-3
Chief, Operations Sec.........2210-5
(b)	Inasmuch as the use of the fifth digit is merely to facilitate internal reporting and does not enter into the selection or assignment of officers by virtue of their MOS, any theater of operations may adapt and modify the fifth digit in such manner as best meets its needs. Any such modification adopted by a theater will be reported to The Adjutant General (Classification and Replacement Branch) Washington 25, D. C., for the information of the War Department and to permit intelligent decoding of any information from that theater based upon such modifications.

1. CONVERSION OF SGO CLASSIFICATION SYMBOLS. Alphabetical symbols used by The Surgeon General for designating the specialties of medical department officers are converted in this manual to SSN’s indicative of the appropriate military occupational specialties (see conversion table below). For example, the SGO symbol S—TH is converted to SSN 3151 and the symbol of A or A-H is converted to the SSN indicative of the military occupational specialty for the specific type of administration, namely, 3000, 3001, 3161, 3500, 3501, etc. However, the symbols BR, L-PY, and M-GS are converted to the SSN most appropriately indicating primary military occupational specialty followed, respectively, by the words bronchoscopy, physiology, and gastroscopy, for example, 3126 (bronchoscopy), 3303 (physiology), and 3105 (gastroscopy).

2. SGO CLASSIFICATION GROUPS.
a. Conversion of SGO Numerical Designations of Classification Groups. The numerical designations 1, 2, 3, and 4 used by The Surgeon General to indicate degrees of training and ability within a given specialty (see definitions below) appear in this manual as the alphabetical designations A, B, C, and D. These alphabetical designations are authorized for entry on WD AGO Form 66-1 (Officer’s Qualification Card) as a prefix to the SSN. For example, an officer who is classified as SI on WD AGO Form 178-2 maintained by The Surgeon General would be coded on WD AGO Form 66-1 as A-3150. The following conversions of SGO symbols illustrate typical entries on WD
227
AGO Form 66-1 under item 28 (Qualification in Military Specialties).

b. Definitions of SGO Classification Groups. GROUP A (To be substituted for SGO Group 1).
Officers with civilian or military background of recognized and outstanding ability in a specialty, for example, officers who were professors and/or heads of departments and associate professors in large teaching centers; officers who can function within their specialty without professional supervision.
GROUP B (To be substituted for SGO Group 2).
Officers with superior training and demonstrated ability. Classification in this group indicates a probable training period of one year as an intern
and a three year residency or fellowship devoted to the specialty in a recognized teaching center. Officers with mature experience and demonstrated ability may be classified in this group even though they have not had the formal training indicated above. Diplomats of American Specialty Boards are classified in this group or higher but absence of certification does not prohibit inclusion in this group. These officers can function within their specialty without professional supervision.
GROUP C (To be substituted for SGO Group 3).
Officers who have recently completed periods of training including one year as an intern and from two to three years residency in a specialty; officers with shorter periods of training but with backgrounds of mature experience.
GROUP D (To be substituted for SGO Group 4).
Officers who have recently completed periods of training including one year as an intern and one year of residency; officers who have demonstrated some ability in a specialty; officers with shorter periods of training but with minor proportion of practice devoted to a specialty such as general practitioners giving particular attention to the specialty for a period of at least three years.
